The Solution

The construction of the system is a one litre water bottle, a patented cap with an integrated handle/hanging bracket (The Hydrant), a delivery tube with a bite valve and a small clip to hold the tube on clothing if required (The Hose).

The bottle is hung from the bed and the user simply reaches up to get hold of the tube, inserts the bite valve between their lips then bites and sucks. The bite valve opens under pressure and closes when released so there is no leakage.

This is a very simple solution to a serious and known problem. It is surprising that a similar system is not already in use.
